Bradford Journal PhotoIt was time for a new week’s worth of spelling words in Mrs. Rhoades’ fourth grade classroom at School Street Elementary School, January 11th, and these young students seem to like it. From left to right are James Norcross 9, Luke Caruso 10, and Emily Morgan 9. They all mentioned that spelling was fun, but that certain words, including the challenge words, could be tricky.

Dexter’s And Edmond Chevrolet Dominate Chess League Chess club has resumed after its Christmas holiday hiatus. The Pharma-cy at Union Square defeated top ranked Edmond Chevrolet/Ed Shults Toyota in their match; however, Edmond Chev-rolet/Ed Shults Toyota still holds fi rst place in the varsity division by one half of a point. In the junior varsity division, Dexter’s Service Center maintains their fi rst place lead by two points. While the Williams Agency holds second place, and the Bradford Health Center and Lang Surveying are just two points be-hind in third. In the JV section, Cadence Panol (captain of Dexter’s Service Center), after her defeat of Tim Mulcahy (cap-tain of Braford Fairway Sales) is now in fi rst place. Tim Mulcahy is in sec-ond place along with Alexander Panol (captain for the Bradford Health Cent-er). Top board two scorer, Sean Luce of the Williams Agency, has won all of his games in this year’s league so far. Gabe Wyant member of Lang Surveying is in second, and Maximilian Panol (mem-ber of Burns & Burns team) is in third. After Chris Bishop (member of the Edmond Chevrolet/ Ed Shults Toyota Team) and Joshua Kramer (member of the Pharmacy at Union Square Team) played their match, Joshua is now the only individual player with a perfect score.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Your Choice” -by Bob Perry

If you have ever wondered about life and how you came to be here on earth? The best answer I have found from differ-ent important perspectives is that your be-ing here is simply ‘your choice’. Psychologically, by accepting this premise, you assume responsibility for your existence and placing blame on an-yone else is not an option. Based on this premise, a spiritual existence prior to en-tering this life is a more-than-likely reality with life-after-life as a more-than-likely reality which adds reasons to live and live responsibly. So if it is ’your choice’ being here, the choices could include the situation you entered into life could include the life experiences to be experienced as a result of the choices. Life will present you with challenges that provide the opportunities necessary to fulfi ll the purpose(s) you came into this life to achieve. Individual responsibility is key here as you are re-sponsible for your own salvation through living responsibly which is further sup-ported by the Christian philosophy of in-dividual salvation. This one tenet is important whenever a religious affi liation is sought for. Christian or not, knowing the ‘Christian way of life’ and living by the guidelines of right mo-rality (judgment of right and wrong) and right ethics (right conduct). is not surpassed in providing the moral guiding light.By making this life ‘your

choice’ you remove the defensive ability to ever say “I did not ask to be born’. Not playing the ’victim’ provides a better op-portunity to be successful. The chances of requiring a psychiatrist is reduced sharply by following this recommendation. Most of us face many lessons to learn and those lessons are the ones you fi nd to be diffi cult to face and overcome. The way to overcome all challenges (lessons) is to follow the genius that the life of Al-bert E Einstein provided: What you fi nd diffi cult in life - overcome by facing the diffi culty and perfecting it. Escape needs to be avoided at all costs as the avenues available have proven the physical brain and all other organs susceptible to addic-tion and leads to unfulfi lled purposes in life. Accept that this life is ‘your choice’ along with all that it comprises starting with your appearance and all other aspects of your being along with other beings in your life. Continually search for your meaning in life and fi nd ways to achieve success in your terms. Make changes when needed and have the belief that around the next corner you will fi nd opportunity and life better than before. Is it really ‘your choice’ to be here? Regardless of whether or not it is true your life will be better for believing it is. Chances are that it is true and, if it is, we will ‘wake up’ one day and realize it.

Bradford’s American Legion Club and Post #108 distributed more of their tick-et proceeds to area organizations on Fri-day, January 8th. This month the McKean County SPCA, Destinations-Bradford, the YWCA of Bradford, and Bradford’s Friendship Table were the recipients, and we were there to preserve the moment…… More photos were collected from Mrs. Rhoades’ fourth grade classroom at the School Street Elementary School, and Mary DePalma submitted one photo of a surprise catch in Crosby, PA. Enjoy!.......Bottorf Embroidery and Screen Print-ing located at 217 West Washington Street, Bradford has completed the de-velopment of its web site by including a “design your own” section and by includ-ing monthly offers of special sales items. See their site at www.bottorfembroidery.com ……. In another area of town, at 66 Minard Run Road (in the back of the former location of Race’s Honda, and Charlie Cycles) Charlie Krepp, the son of the “old man” Charlie who we all knew loved so dearly, has completed another addition to his newly re-established Char-lie’s Cycle Sales and Service- a showroom for his used Bikes of all brands and siz-es, on and off-road……..This week-end begins Kiwanis Week (January 17-23) and we would like to thank those busi-nesses who helped us congratulate them on their 101st Anniversary of community service: Bradford Fairway Sales & Leas-ing (& Bradford Dodge); Cavallaro Paint & Wallpapering, Bottorf Embroidery, Tops Supermarket (Your Neighborhood Store with More), and Timeless Treas-ures Gift Shop (See issue of January 7th, page 11)……..Remember that the Vet-Jam takes place this weekend, January 16th at the VFW Events Center. There will be fourteen bands and acoustic acts (see details in this issue). Doors open at 1PM, music begins at 2PM and the show runs all day long for a cover charge of only $5.00 admission……..As far as we could tell (we attended all but a few of the venues), this year’s First Night Brad-ford New Year’s Eve Event had about the same appeal to area residents as most of the previous years’ productions. The chil-dren’s First Night First Events - the Brad-ford Area Public Library, the Callahan Ice Skating Rink, and the Byllye Lanes were very well attended, while there were, with the exception of Bwana Jim (a reptile show) and the bouncy house, both primar-ily for children, much less well attended venues involving “The Arts” later in the day. So who’s counting! The event was created to present low cost New Year’s Eve entertainment to area residents. And those who came weren’t disappointed. But the fact remains that those venues that had anything to do with “The Arts” were the most poorly attended.

III Peter F. McCoy III, age 65, died New Year’s Day, 2016 at the Brad-ford Manor where he resided for the past several weeks. A 13-year cancer survivor, he fought a valiant and cou-rageous battle with n o n - H o d g k i n ’s Lymphoma and Leukemia. A lifelong Brad-ford resident, he was born June 15, 1950, son of the late PeterF. McCoy Jr., who died in 1977, and Dorothea B. Mc-Coy who died in 2008. A 1968 graduate of Bradford Area High School, Peter also graduated from St. Bonaventure University earning both his Bachelor

and Master’s de-grees in education. He enjoyed a 27-year teaching career at Ellicottville Cen-tral School, Ellicot-tville, N.Y., retiring in 2002 due to dis-ability. Prior to his ill-ness, he was also a partner with his mother in the op-eration of 12 apart-ments in fi ve build-ings in the Bradford area. Peter was an avid sailor and crewed many summers in 20-foot class onedesign sailboat races at Chautau-qua Lake. He once camped and canoed the length of the Al-legheny River from the headwaters to Pittsburgh. His newest enjoyment was riding his Can-Am motorcycle. He was a life-long member of St. Bernard’s Roman Catholic Church and a member of the Bradford Town-ship Lion’s Club. A very generous man, who put the welfare of others ahead of himself, Peter once voluntarily paid out thousands of dollars for a full set of den-tures for a person he saw struggling to eat at the Friend-ship Table.

Peter’s generosity was taken advan-tage of at times, but he never lost faith in humanity. In addition to his parents, he was pre-ceded in death by two sisters, Mary Janice McCarthy in 1996, and Martha Lou Bouchard in 2009 and a brother-inlaw Robert Lee Rocheleau in 2007. Survivors in-clude a sister Vir-ginia Rocheleau of San Diego, Calif.; a brother Michael (Diane) McCoy of Mayville, N.Y.; two brothers-inlaw, Marcian (Cheryl) Bouchard of Wash-ington, N.C., and Terrence McCa-rthy of Bay Village, Ohio; eight nieces and nephews and many grandnieces and grandneph-ews. Survivors also include his good friends Gisele Mag-nella, Peter Peck-yno, John Coder, Rick Frederick, Gary Bentley and Dan Costello who faithfully drove him to his chemo and treatments, and all his many friends at Derrick City Diner who supported him to the end. Burial was in St. Bernard Cemetery.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

A Year-Round College-Planning Calendar For Parents And Prospective Students

by - Nathaniel Sillin Preparing your kids for college isn’t just about the money you’ve put aside for tuition, room and board. It’s about making deadlines, making the right choices and making sure your teen has the proper life and money skills to make college a suc-cess. Consider a college-planning calendar you and your university-bound student can follow. Here are some seasonal activi-ties to consider adding to yours:

Winter No matter how you’ve prepared fi nan-cially for your teen’s college education, kick off the year with a visit to a qualifi ed fi nancial and tax professional. You might also consider paying for a separate adviso-ry session for your teen so they know how to handle money before they leave for col-lege. January is also a good month to learn about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as the FAFSA (https://fafsa.ed.gov), as it’s best to fi ll out the form right after Jan.1 to avoid missing out on available federal and state (https://fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm) aid going into your teen’s freshman year. That fi rst FAF-SA fi ling will give you an idea of what your Effective Family Contribution (EFC) (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/collegeaid) will be. Consult trusted friends and family members for their advice on affording college and strategies to secure grants and scholarships. Resources like FinAid.org and Edvisors.com are good resources for ways to afford college, but it also helps to have face-to-face expertise. Start evaluating potential schools with your teen. The U.S. Department of Edu-cation’s College Affordability and Trans-parency Center (http://collegecost.ed.gov) features a range of calculators and re-sources to help you narrow down school choices with the chance for your teen to secure the most scholarships and grants – money that doesn’t have to be paid back.

Spring Springtime is a good season to start talking about summer jobs and internships (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/summerjob) that will make for a more at-tractive college application. Internship ap-plication periods may be year-round with many deadlines happening in the gall. If you are expecting your teen to contribute some part of their earnings or savings for future college costs, it’s worthwhile to review earning, spending, budgeting, tax and savings fundamentals they’ll need to manage money in school. Also, if your teen hasn’t been exposed to banking on a regular basis, it’s time.

Work with them to compare fees and ser-vices on various checking and savings ac-counts and consider whether it might be wise for you to bank with the same insti-tution to allow for easier transfer of nec-essary funds from your account to theirs. Also encourage them to fi nd an organized way of keeping track of their fi nances on paper, on computer or online (https://www.mint.com).

Summer Summer is a time for fun, but it’s also a good time to research potential schools and scholarship programs and even take a quick campus tour. The U.S. Department of Education’s scholarship site (https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/grants-schol-arships/fi nding-scholarships) offers basic guidance in fi nding such money and local companies and organizations – including places where your teen can work or intern – may offer local awards. If your teen is heading into their senior year, the fall is going to be busy. Get ad-missions test dates and college admissions deadlines down on your calendar as soon as possible. Also budget for college appli-cation fees as well as fees for admissions prep tests and the main SAT or ACT tests (more on that below) which may cost well in excess of $50 based on which test – or tests – your teen needs to take.

Fall Fall is the season for college admis-sions tests, but for students with extra time

before graduation, it’s also the season for test prep (http://www.usnews.com/educa-tion/best-colleges/test-prep). Higher-scor-ing students on such achievement tests generally are in a better position for ad-missions or certain types of fi nancial aid. High-school sophomores take the PSAT as a primary qualifi cation for National Merit Scholarships, but it also gives an early in-dication of how students may do during their junior year on their ACT or SAT test, whichever they are encouraged to take. Get your student to check directly with the colleges of their choice to see which tests they require. Finally, the closer your teen gets to freshman year, the more specifi c the dates on the calendar become. For college-bound seniors, fall is the time for narrow-ing down college choices after visits, in-terviews or auditions so applications can be sent. Once acceptance letters arrive, it’s time for parents and teens to evaluate fi -nancial aid packages. Bottom line: Creating a college-plan-ning calendar can help you and your teen target desired schools, learn about money management and break down funding ob-stacles. Set it up as early as possible.

But that isn’t what he was looking for. He tells us that he was trapping for beaver along Wolcott Brook in Crosby and inadvertently caught the otter, who had, unbeknownst to him, been swimming in the channel where the trap was set. He also mentioned that the traps had been set for less than 24 hours, and that it had been a good day for trap-ping.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Going to the doctor or dentist? Be prepared! Knowing the right questions to ask can help you save money and improve your care. Here are some suggestions:

Know Before You Go If you are covered by insurance, your out-of-pocket expenses will general-ly be higher if your provider does not participate in your plan’s network (the name of your network usually appears on your health plan ID card). Providers may be open to offering discounts when they do not participate in your network. Consider negotiating fees in advance. 1. Do you participate in my plan’s network? If not, how much can I expect to be billed for my visit? 2. Will my insurance plan’s payment cover the full cost of this out-of-net-work visit? If not, will you expect me to pay the difference between your bill and what you are paid by the insurance company? If you participate in another network, are you willing to accept their payment amount as full payment for this visit/service? 3. Will you fi le claim forms for out-of-network services on my behalf? 4. What tests/lab work will be or-dered for my visit? Will they be cov-ered by my health plan? If performed elsewhere, are the facilities performing the tests/lab work considered “in-net-work” under my plan? 5. Will your offi ce check with my plan to determine if pre-authorization is required for any tests or procedures? 6. Will you be performing or order-ing services not typically covered by my plan? 7. Do you offer payment options, discounts, or otherwise negotiate your fees, for services that are out-of-net-work or not covered by my plan? 8. Are the medications you pre-

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Will meal replacement drinks, bars and packaged food help me lose weight more successfully? A: We’re all individual, and what helps one person lose weight may not be helpful for another. Several research reviews in recent years identify a few studies in which using meal replacement drinks, bars or packaged food as part of a larger lifestyle program may boost weight loss by a few extra pounds. It appeared to help for about six months, but the review found the evidence was not that strong. More studies are needed to understand whether that advantage continues longer term. But even if it doesn’t, successfully losing weight in the fi rst few months can help some people stay motivated and focused to develop new long-term habits. Adopting long-term habits, though, is your key to achieving and maintaining weight loss long-term. You may fi nd meal replacements help as you learn new healthy behaviors, for example, it may help teach you about portion control, es-pecially for high calorie foods. And, if you can learn to fi ll up on low-calorie, nu-trient-rich vegetables and other health-promoting foods like fruit, whole grains, beans and nuts, you’ll learn how to make these foods the foundation of your eat-ing. Since excess body fat is so strongly linked to greater risk of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, using meal replacement products may be one way to help you to start on the path to weight loss. On the other hand, these products are expensive, and they certainly are not necessary for many people to reshape eating habits. If you choose to use them, make sure they are just one part of an overall plan to create a healthy lifestyle and that you plan to make the transition to a sustainable approach to eating balanced meals with healthful whole foods.

Bradford Journal PhotoThese fourth graders in Mrs. Rhoades’ classroom at School Street Elementary School, January 11th, are almost fi nished with exercises associated with this week’s spelling words. They tell us that spelling is O.K. but they would rather be working on their writ-ing. Left to right are Tatum Dibble 10, Drew Pessia 10, and Kadence Martin 10.

Bradford Journal PhotoFourth grade students in Mrs. Rhoades’ classroom at School Street Elementary School look up from their notes on the Revolutionary War, for a photo, January 11th. First they learned about the war, and now it was time to select which causes of the war they want to write about. Left to right are Treyna Allen 10, Tre Miley 9, and Azlyn Yeaboah-Compton 10 (see her note book cover in the photo gallery). They tell us that good top-ics would be “tea tax,” “British occupation,” and the “French and Indian War.”

FAMILY FEATURES

With so many social events that revolve

around food, it’s not easy to get a fresh

start on making healthy food choices.

However, with a little thought and plan -

ning, you can prevent taking your body on a roller

coaster ride – without having to choose between food

deprivation and satisfaction.

“Whether you are hosting an event or attending

someone else’s celebration, planning ahead can help

you stay on track,” said Mitzi Dulan, a registered diet -

itian and nationally recognized nutrition and wellness

expert. “Having quick and simple strategies and rec -

ipes on hand makes it easy to eat well and keep

you feeling great.”

Put a winning plan in place to take a new look at

your approach to eating smart with these tips from

Dulan, who is the team nutritionist for the World

Series champion Kansas City Royals.

Don’t skip meals. Although skipping breakfast may seem like a good way to cutcalories, it’s a plan that can actually backfire, making you hun -grier as the day wears on, and more likely to overeat or sneakunhealthy snacks. Start each day with a well-rounded breakfastto fuel your body. Apply a similar approach to events later inthe day, as well. You may be tempted to skip a meal so youcan enjoy the treats at a party, but chances are you’ll end upoverdoing it with high-calorie indulgences, so make sure youfuel up ahead of time.

Love what you eat. Be mindful of the food you eat and make every bite count.Enjoying each delicious taste will make it easier to stick to asensible eating plan. For the foods you do love, look for waysto make them better – better for you, that is. For example, ifpizza is your weak spot, substitute a lower-calorie crust, suchas Flatout Flatbread. Then choose toppings wisely to amp upthe flavor while managing added fat and calories.

Eat smaller portions. When you simply must indulge, you may be surprised to hear “go ahead,” but to do so in moderation. One clever wayto keep your portions small: use a tablespoon, not a servingspoon to dish out portions. Then eat slowly so your body hastime to tell your brain you’re full.

Get your fill in healthy ways. Overeating often comes down to a very basic cause: hunger.Becoming more conscious of how you answer your hungerwill help you stay on track. Drinking water before and duringevents will help to fill you up so you are less likely to con -sume excess calories. Snacking throughout the day can alsohelp keep hunger at bay; several small, healthy snacks, such as a handful of nuts or trail mix, can help keep you feelingfull. Also, remember to stop eating when you feel satisfied, but before you feel full.

FAMILY FEATURES

If you’ve been entrusted to assist an elderly relativewith scheduling preventive exams and putting ahealth care plan in place, you may struggle withknowing when it’s time to take on a greater role in

other aspects of their life. That’s why now is the perfecttime to look for warning signs that your loved onesmight be suffering from a decline in financial ability.

Despite years of accumulated knowledge andexperience, it is likely that at some point your lovedones’ financial capability will be challenged as theyage, making it more difficult to competently handlemoney-related matters on their own. And this declinecan occur even if illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s ordementia, are not present.

Financial Warning SignsNew dents, scratches and dings on your agingparent’s car might be a sign of deterioratingdriving ability. These are pretty obvious warningsigns. With impaired financial decision making,the signs may not be quite as obvious, but ifyou know what to look for you might be ableto spot it early.

1. Is the aging person taking longer to completefinancial tasks? Does she struggle with every -day efforts like preparing bills for mailing,reconciling bank statements or organizingpaperwork?

2. Is the person missing key details in financialdocuments? Are bills piling up and has hemissed a payment? Is he able to prioritize hisregular responsibilities?

3. Is your aging parent experiencing prob-lems with everyday arithmetic? Maybe you recently went out to dinner with momand dad, and while paying, they took aninordinate amount of time to calculate theappropriate tip.

4. Have you noticed a decreased understandingof financial concepts with your loved ones?Are they having increased difficulty compre -hending health care matters like deductibles,or are they having a hard time understandingthe bank statements they receive?

5. Are they having new difficulty identifyinginvestment risks? Are they able to minimizethe risks in potential investments? Did theyrecently fall victim to fraud or a scam becausethey could not spot the liabilities?

Pay extra attention toward looking for thewarn ing signs of mental and financial decline.Most importantly, take the time to talk to yourparents about their wishes and how you canhelp them.

Establishing a plan to manage your parents’ finances is an important task in their senior years, particularly if you intend to engage other family members in the process.A survey from the National Endowment forFinancial Education (NEFE) found that 86percent of people want their family to helpwith financial matters if they become unable.However, nearly 7 in 10 say their familydynam ics prevent that from happening.According to the survey, 58 percent of fam -ilies experience disagreements, conflicts orconfrontation with others when aging affectsfinancial decision making.

Whether you’re a child or family memberwho has been enlisted to help or even chart -ing your own financial future, approachingthese discussions with candor and an openmind is critical.

“Especially if you’re accustomed to hand -ling money matters privately, learning to talkmore candidly about your finances may beuncomfortable,” said Ted Beck, presidentand CEO of NEFE. “However, allowingtrusted individuals to take a closer look at your accounts can help you establish arealistic plan for the future, and help flagany potential concerns.”

One way Beck recommends protecting your par -ents is to allow view-only access to let loved oneshelp monitor for unusual activity on your bankingand credit accounts. If restrictions to unauthorizedusers prohibit this, you can set up an alert program(via email or text) when a transaction over a setamount occurs. Also, remember to perform regularcredit checks to avoid scams and identity theft.Check the three major reporting bureaus and stagger the reports to get one every four months.

Additional tools and resources are available at smartaboutmoney.org to help ensure your loved ones’ finances stay healthy through thesegolden years.

(NAPSI)—Staying on the road to safe-ty may be harder for many elderly drivers than they realize.

The Danger According to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration, senior citi-zens account for only 9 percent of the population but almost 14 percent of fatal traffi c accidents. As people age, their driving patterns change. Retirement, different schedules and new activities affect when and where they drive. Although most older adults drive safely because they have a lot of experience behind the wheel, when they are involved in crashes, they may be hurt more seriously than younger drivers. Many see driving as an important part of staying independent, and people 70 and older tend to keep their licenses longer and drive more miles than in the past.

What To Do Elderly drivers and the people who care for them should have a trusted doc-tor check their eyes and refl exes to de-termine whether they should be driving anymore. If it seems a driver you care about should be off the road, listen to his or her concerns and feelings on the subject. Ex-plore the possibilities. Are there solutions that could keep him or her driving safely longer, such as getting new glasses or only driving during the day? Try to arrange for alternative transportation so he doesn’t feel trapped at home. If she sells her car, remind her of the money she’ll save on in-surance and maintenance—which can be used for buses and taxis. Having this talk may not be easy but you could save a life.

FAMILY FEATURES

Athletic styling continues to increase its influence on casual clothing – often referred to as “athleisure” apparel – with innovative fabric treatments associated with high-performance activewear making their way into basic apparel; even underwear.

Temperature-control and wicking technology that draws moisture away from skin, initiallydeveloped to keep athletes dryer and more comfortable while training and competing, can nowbe found in items we wear every day, including T-shirts, underwear and socks.

“Comfort is the biggest factor when choosing basic clothing, so it’s little surprise the tech -nology that makes high-performance sportswear so appealing to athletes is being well receivedin casual, everyday apparel,” said Jay Turner, president of underwear, panties and socks atHanesBrands, which has introduced X-Temp, a dynamic temperature control and coolingtechnology, to its product lineup. “There is no such thing as too much comfort in underwear.”

After all, the gym is hardly the only place where temperatures rise and perspiration follows.Sometimes life sets the thermostat to “really uncomfortable,” especially with normal workdaypressures. From interviewing for a new job, making a big presentation or dealing with a demand -ing boss, there are countless scenarios in the workplace that call for keeping your cool.

Fit meets functionAthletic apparel was once only worn for specific athletic activities, but now demand hasinspired manufacturers to deliver the same style and comfort in more affordable, everydayapparel. One of the key components of comfort is temperature regulation, and a high-tech Swiss company, HeiQ, developed the Adaptive technology that actually responds to bodytemperature changes by turning moisture wicking on or off, much like the skin does naturally.You want more evaporation to keep you feeling cooler when the body is warmer and lessevaporation when you are chilled.

Top brands are now incorporating this technology into their collections. For example,Champion PowerTrain T-shirts, hoodies and training pants (look for “Vapor” on the label) are made from virtually weightless fast-drying fabric that wicks moisture for sweat-free comfort, no matter what else you’re wearing and what you’re doing.

Underneath it all When things heat up, keeping your cool depends on that first layer of fabric against your skin. That’s why it’s important to choose undergarments designed to respond to your bodytemperature. By incorporating the same cooling technology used in active apparel, Hanes hasintroduced X-Temp undershirts, socks and men’s and women’s underwear that wick moistureaway from consumers when warm. Soon you will even be able to find bras that incorporate the technology.

“Technology continues to migrate from athletic wear to underwear as part of the athleisuretrend,” Turner said. “For consumers, comfort is 24-7 and knows no boundaries.”

Comfort that Fits

How it Works

Fabrics that adapt to the body’s temper -ature to speed or slow down cooling for all-day comfort may seem a little sci-fi. Actually, it’s what happens whentechnology meets textile to pair the high-performance qualities desired in athleticwear with the unmatched comfort of soft cotton.

Swiss company HeiQ developed ahydro functional polymer that makesfabric dynamic, enabling it to respond to body temperature and deliver both

wicking and evaporation benefits. Thistechnology turns moisture into vapor to move it away from the body, which is wicking, and it also expands thefabric’s absorbency area, so moreevaporation can take place.

Simply stated, as the skin tem -perature increases and perspirationoccurs, the fabric fibers, even cotton,respond by allowing evaporation tohelp keep the body cool and wicking to help keep it dry.
